2.1 Safety notes
Read the instructions carefully before instal-
lation and start-up of the substation. Danfoss
does not bear responsibility for whichever
damages of device, which have not been
mounted or stored in accordance with follo-
wing instructions.
To avoid injury of persons and damages to
the device, it is absolutely necessary to care-
fully read and observe these instructions.
Necessary assembly, start-up and mainte-
nance work must be performed only by qua-
lified and authorized personnel.
Warning of hot surface
The substation has got hot surfaces which
can cause skin burns. Please be extremely
cautious in close proximity of the substa-
tion.
Warning of high pressure and tempe-
rature
The maximum temperature and pressure
always have to be checked on the pro-
duct data label attached to the product.
Be aware of the installations permissible
system pressure and temperature. The risk
of persons getting injured and equipment
being damaged increases considerably if
the recommended permissible operating
parameters are exceeded.
The substation installation is equipped
with safety valves which must always be
mounted in accordance with local regu-
lations.
2.2 For the user of the substation
Necessary assembly, start-up and mainte-
nance work is to be done only by qualified
personnel. Once the substation is installed
and running there is usually no need to
change settings or other functions. The
district heating substation is very reliable
and easy-to-use equipment.
If necessary, you can change settings in the
controller. The most often used settings are
found in this User Guide. In the Installation
Guide and in the instruction for the control-
ler you can find more detailed information
and instructions how to use the controller.
By regularly observing functioning of the
substation it is possible to notice failures and
this way prevent bigger faults to build up. If
facing failures in function please check the
Troubleshooting section (chapter 6.0) in the
Installation Guide to check possible ways to
deal with the situation.
It is necessary to check and maintain the
substation on regular basis in order to keep
it in good operating condition. Please refer
to Maintenance section in this User guide for
service instructions.

2.3 General about district heating
substations
The heating system of the property is con-
nected to the district heating network with
the substation. Hot district heating water
runs through the heat exchangers in the sub-
station. District heating water does not enter
the internal network, just heat is transferred
through the heat exchangers. The substation
distributes heat into the heating and domes-
tic hot water circuits.
All substation functions are controlled
with an electronic controller. The outdoor
temperature is measured and the controller
adjusts flow temperature to keep the room
and domestic hot water temperatures on the
desired level. Property related settings can
be changed with the controllers (e.g. hea-
ting curve), temperatures can be checked,
settings can be changed, schedules can be
created etc.

2.5 Controller
2.5.1 Description
The ECL Comfort electronic weather com-
pensated temperature controllers are for use
in district heating, central heating and cool-
ing systems.
Energy savings are facilitated by weather
compensation, adjustment of temperature
according to schedule, optimization as well
as limitation of return temperature flow and
power. Functionalities such as data logging
and alarm functions are implemented in the
controller.
2.5.2 Using the controller
The graphical display shows all temperature
values, status information and is used for the
setting of control parameters.
Navigation, browsing and selecting the cur-
rent item in the menus is done by turning
and pushing the dial.

2.5.4 Setting the room temperature
If the room temperature feels too warm or
too cool, the fastest and easiest way to af-
fect it, is to do changes on the desired room
temperature.
Move the position indicator to the room
temperature by turning the dial. Activate
the temperature by pushing the dial in
the middle.
When the rectangle appears around
temperature value it is possible to raise
or lower temperature by turning the dial
either to right or left. When you reach the
desired temperature, accept it by push-
ing the dial in the middle.
By doing changes on the heat curve you
will get more possibilities in controlling the
room temperature. The heat curve setting is
described in the Installation Guide (chapter

3.1 Service
It is necessary to check and maintain the
substation on regular basis in order to keep it
in good operating condition. It is important
to notice possible leaks as early as possible.
General overview of the equipment should
take place at least twice a year (before and
after the heating season). More accurate
service should take place once a year by au-
thorized personnel.
You can get contact information of the
authorized service companies from your
local Danfoss Sales Company.
Always use authorized service personnel
when the equipment needs service. Con-
cerning maintenance and warranty issues in
Finland, please contact Danfoss LPM’s service
organisation first. If the maintenance and
warranty issues concern matters in other
countries, please contact your local Danfoss
Sales Company.
Removing the cover panels before service
The panels are removed by lifting them up.
1. First remove the white panels from the
front and back.
2. After that lift the grey panels.
The panels are placed back in the opposite
order when compared with taking them
away.

instructions what to do.
3.2 Alarm
As a sign of an alarm symbol appears on
the display. The description of alarm settings
can be found in the Installation Guide.
3.2.1 Pressure alarm
The limits for the pressure alarm are control-
ler settings (Installation guide, chapter 5.9.9
Alarm). If pressure rises over or goes below
the alarm settings the alarm symbol
appears on the display.
Example: Low pressure alarm, actual
pressure on the display 0.7 bar while
lower limit is 0.8 bar.
12
DEN-SMT/FI VU.GE.A1.02 Danfoss District Energy
Example: High pressure alarm, actual
pressure on the display 2.4 bar while
higher limit is 2.3. bar.
The limits for the pressure alarm can
be found in alarm settings (Installation
Guide, chapter 5.9.9 Alarm).
3.2.2 Pump alarm
Pump alarm indicates that the pump is
overloaded for some reason. Alarm does not
disappear from the display until the function
of the pump is back to normal.

3.2.3 Maximum flow temperature alarm
Temperature limiting function causes an
alarm when flow temperature rises over the
maximum limit and exceeds the reaction
time. As a result the controller shuts down
the pump. As a sign of an alarm symbol
appears on the display.
In a radiator heating system max. limit is e.g.
90 °C and in a floor-heating system e.g.
50 °C.
Alarm display.
Flow temperature (example display ,
95 °C) exceeds maximum temperature
limit (example setting 90 °C).
Max. flow temperature limit settings can
be found in the Installation Guide (chap-
ter 5.9.9 Alarm).
Flow temperature limiting thermostatic func-
tion controls the pump shut down and the
control valve closing functions. In case when
flow temperature rises above the maximum
limit and exceeds reaction time, the control-
ler stops the pump and closes the control
valve.
The pump restarts immediately after flow
temperature drops below the set max. tem-
perature limit. If temperature does not drop
below the limit, the controller starts the
pump after 26 minutes delay time. After that
the pump shuts down again if temperature
has not sunk.
